Yes, that’s me
Look and you’ll see
My hair IS BLACK
My eyes BROWN
My arms ARE LONG
My hands SOFT
My heart BIG
I’m HOPEFUL
I never FEEL COMPLETE
My friends ARE FUNNY
I live IN MY OWN WORLD
I hope TO BE SUCCESSFUL
I dream OF A BETTER PLACE
It’s all clear as can be.
That’s positively, absolutely me

Once I was LOST
Now I am FOUND
Once I was SCARED TO SCREAM OUT LOUD
Once I was STUCK IN A ROOM
Once I was HAD A PINK PONY
Now I am IM FREE TO SCREAM OUT
Now I am FOUND
Once I was SCARED TO SCREAM OUT LOUD
Once I was STUCK IN A ROOM
Once I was HAD A PINK PONY
Now I am IM FREE TO SCREAM OUT
What if I LOST MY MIND
I might NOT EVER FOUND IT AGAIN
What if THE WORLD JUMPED AT ONCE
I could WATCH IT FALL
What if I JUST WENT BLIND
I would REALLY LOSE MY MIND
WHAT IF WE ALL JUST DIE WOULD THE WORLD CRY
I Can’t Write a Poem
Forget it.
You must be kidding.
I will fall asleep
My eyes don’t work
I lost my brain
I don’t no how to use a pencil.
someone took my paper.
My desk ran away
I don’t know how to spell
And besides, I think im going to die
I’ve got a headache. I see the light
Time’s up? Uh oh!
All I have is a dumb list of excuses.
You like it? Really? No kidding.
Thanks a lot. Would you like to see another one?

In Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise” the poem is saying that no matter what people say about her she will not be defeated and that she will “rise.” and still have a smile on her face. Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Johnson on April 4, 1928. She grew up in Arkansas. She has had many roles in her life: author, poet, historian, songwriter, playwright, dancer, stage and screen producer, director, performer, singer, and civil rights activist.
Maya Angelou uses Repetition and Hyperbole to show the reader that she can overcome her problems and walk with her head held high no matter what the world may think about her she is better than that. She uses words that tell you that she had a hard life when she says, “
Did you want to see me broken/ Bowed head and lowered eyes” I can see someone looking at her wanting her to feel bad about herself and she is still happy.
Angelou’s poem is telling people that when people try to put you down .To just overcome the challenges that she may have went throw. “Leaving behind nights of terror and fear”
When she asks rhetorical questions she is trying to get the reader to get the reader more interested in the poem. To show how she had to overcome lots of thing in her life. and still came out on top.
Angelou use Imageryand Metaphor I to show imagery she says thing that relate to the senses. She is trying to get the reader to uses there senses to get in the poem. She uses Metaphor “That I dance like I’ve got that I dance like I’ve got diamonds”. To show how that she carry herself like she is worth more than diamonds. And she carry herself like she is better than everybody.
This poem has is a testament to Angelous’s fight against the people who try to bring her down even throw tried to hold her down. It is very inspiring because I can see myself in her in may ways the struggle andand how she over comes everything . Although I did not come from the same humble beginnings as she did I can still can relate. To me this poem is dedicated to everyone and anyone who has had to face the disapproval of others and rise above it.
